What is the maximum amount the IRS can garnish from your paycheck?

Good afternoon, Mohammad. I’m reading about its tax exemption policies. Can you please let me know the maximum amount the IRS can garnish from your paycheck?

This is a case-by-case answer.

IRS looks into paychecks, durations, dependents, and some other factors as well to decide your case.

However, to use a general example, if you earn $1000 for every two weeks with no other liabilities, IRS can $538 from your paycheck period.
